A team of experimentalists led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and UT has demonstrated an energy-efficient desalination technology that uses a porous membrane made of strong, slim graphene—a carbon honeycomb one atom thick.

High-entropy alloys—substances constructed with equivalent quantities of five or more metals—might hold the key to future manufacturing and construction, and two researchers from UT could help pave the way.

Join UTRF for a ninety-minute seminar called "Patent Essentials" on March 27 in Min H. Kao Building Room 622 to dive into some important questions about intellectual property and how you and the university can benefit from commercialization efforts.
